🔱 HAPPY HEXED DAY 🔱

𝐻𝐸𝑋𝐸𝐷 is a contemporary Mafia romance inspired by “The Little Mermaid,” where the villainess gets the guy. This is a complete standalone in Emily McIntire’s Never After series and is NOW LIVE!

🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️

𝑯𝒆’𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑳𝒂 𝑪𝒐𝒔𝒂 𝑵𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂. 𝑺𝒉𝒆’𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒉 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒔 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕.

Venesa Andersen has never been good. She wasn’t good enough for her parents, and she isn’t good enough for the gangster uncle who took her in after they died. But she’s cunning. Beautiful. Dutiful to her uncle’s demands. And she doesn’t have time for a moral compass, anyway.

When her runaway cousin returns to their coastal southern town, she brings a man with her…and Venesa soon realizes he’s the only one who’s ever seen her for her.

There’s just one problem: she can never have him.

Enzo “Loverboy” Marino is a wealthy businessman by day and prince of the underworld by night. Underboss to a notorious mafia syndicate, he answers to no one except his father, the strongest don in the Northeast. When he’s tasked with marriage, Enzo doesn’t think twice.

Until he meets his fiancée’s cousin.

Venesa is everything he never knew he wanted, bewitching him with her sultry voice and supple curves. But Enzo learned long ago that for a man like him, life is better without the things you want.

When plans unravel and temptation sings its siren song, they’ll both have to choose what’s more important: duty to their families, or a forbidden love that was never supposed to be.

I hope I’m back for now. But I’m not sure.

I don’t have a lot of time for posting but I hope I’ll be posting about the books I’m reading/listening to. I don’t know if it’s going to be a review or just a “you should/shouldn’t read this!”

Bring a full time caregiver for my grandparents has been the most challenging thing I’ve EVER done. And it’s not getting easier. The last 8 months have been the most stressful time.

To those of you who I was in groups with & I haven’t replied or done anything..I apologize. But I have been a silent lurker on your pages lately. I am cheering you on & I’m so proud of all the work you guys have done!

To those of you who stuck around while I was gone, thank you. This account has been the best thing I’ve done. I never thought I would have a couple hundred followers, let alone 5K.

Haven’t been in a posting mode for some reason. But I’m definitely going to try to get back into it.

Here are my book round up from February, March & April.

February I was able to complete 7 books & I read every day of the month.

March I completed 6 & missed 3 days of reading.

April, 5 books were completed & 2 days of reading were missed.

Even if I read for 10-20 minutes I’m good with but my daily goal is 45 minutes.

26/02/2024

The books I’ve read so far this year & their star ratings

1. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
2. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
3. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
5. No rating
6. ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨(3.5)
7. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
8. ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨(3.5)
9. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

How many have you read this year so far?

20/02/2024

Not entirely sure what to think about this one.

It was very eye opening. A lot that I never knew because I was a child when this happened. Also a lot of stuff that happened behind the scenes, before/during/after, that a lot of people probably never knew of.

Don’t get me wrong, this is a great book. Well written. Very informative.

I do recommend it, but I will not be giving it a star rating; doesn’t feel right.

07/02/2024

Do you like..

Reverse Age Gap…she’s 32 & he’s 21

He falls first

One night stand

Small town romance

Spice…he knows how to handle a woman he wants…

If you do..then this is the book for you!

This is the 4th book I’ve read by Micalea Smeltzer & I have yet to be disappointed.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️

07/02/2024

you have done it AGAIN!

Reading the story of Via & Reid makes me so happy that I’ve found my very own Reid! We are 10 years apart, he’s older, and he makes me so happy. I wouldn’t change anything about him or us!

I can’t wait for October when we get the next one ❤️

January Wrap Up

Completed only 2 books this month but it’s been a busy & hectic month for me.

I’m in the process of moving, and kind of doing myself so I’m taking car load by car load.

•As You Wish by
4.5 stars. I do recommend reading her books! They are quick reads & they are really good. 🌶️ too!

•Icebreaker by
5 stars! This was the easiest 5 star I’ve given in a while. Now I just need to get Wildfire & Daydream once it comes out! But not anytime soon…book buying ban.

•I ended up reading 17/31 days this month. Again it had to do with how busy I was. Going to try to read more this month & complete more than 2 books!

•I am currently reading 11:11 by & I am so damn excited to read it! How about that cover by tho! So pretty!
